THE PROP DEN is primarily a Darth Vader Prop Discussion Board, but we also deal with other Star Wars Props as well as Prop Replicas from other movies. If you do not yet have an account, set one up, sign in and jump into the Vader Prop Discussions!

FYI for those in Australia I took the blaster pic & add to the cop shop where they assess forearm licences Have received approval to purchase & import with replica gun application ( can't remember the form number)Was all good as it doesn't have any moving trigger parts or a hollow barrelOrdered the legend. Can't wait

Wish the Legend was as described. Have the Legend Vader, it is nice, but not really as a Legend should be, too idealized, and still more accurate than LE. Who knows there might be another Legend Scout...

Looking forward till you get yours and make a good comparsion with your Lone Wulf and RS side by side.As it seems they really missed it to get the front visorframe correct, but that also could be result in crappy photographic skills on those pic's.At last the people seem to get finaly what they paid for.But after this mess, EFX should leave the business or never should be allowed to take pre-orders again.

Be happy with my RS helmet, looks 10 times better IMHO and also is made the correct way, out of the correct material.And as i also found an original hard hat liner it's the closest Scout helmet you will get for a long time.

EFX will not beat RS. Heck, it won't beat LW either. But will make a comparison once I get it.

Agreed mate -look forward to seeing your comparisons.

I’ve added pics to my site of the EFX compared to the RS - tbh they’re a million miles apart as far as accuracy (but then the EFX is I supposed a fibreglass collectible for the masses)

However the shoddy way it’s been produced that riles me, with the same faults it had four years ago when development started, and suggests to me it was a rush job by EFX when Disney started to put the pressure on.

Accuracy wise it’s like the first MR Stormtrooper helmet from what, ten years ago. A sanitised Pepsi Max version of what a Scout Trooper looks like.

If this reflects EFX's attitude then the "Legend" is going to anything but legendary!

To me it just not looks like a professional company works.It's also not the fault cause of Chinese factory workers may not can do it better.That's complete nonsense and just poor excuse of beeing not able to run a professional company.

My POV...efx just not know how to run a company and got exploited by guys (i not name here) which just wanted to fullfill their own collection.They have their direct casts from screen used stuff at home and i'm sure that their stuff not look like that bunch of shit which efx is giving to their customers.If those had gotten stuff like this i'm sure they not would say things like "oh yes it's may not perfect, but we couldn't expected more of it so it's fine".

At the other hand it's a whole joke that people still buy stuff from efx as the whole story is not new.So i can't take them anymore serious if they are getting whiny, cause what they are getting now after 4 years is a bunch of expensive trash.

Serves you right, (I) told you so!

My 2 cents.

That's OK. We know you're taking about Gino...

That's

Well ...that's your interpretation.

Btw. had the opputunity to handle a efx bucket yesterday by myself.It's really more worse as on all those pic's i have seen.

I was afraid to brake the stand while putting the helmet on and of that "thing".Never have seen a bunch of that cheap wiggly acylic stand before.

The flare of the face at the sides is ugly as hell and the face not even close a bit as it should be.But i would not say that the flare is a casting issue, more it looks like they did the flare just to make the facemask close even a bit.

But the most important thing....that big width gap on top of the visor is totally useless, as it's really not nessary for to open and close the helmet to be that big. It would easily work without that big gap to open and close the helmet without to scratch the dome.Maybe a max. 5 mm gap but not more, just to be safe at the sides.So the whole story about "we have to do this cause it's fiberglas" it's totally shit talking bullshit.

I just can recommend to each one who has one in hand to open the visor and look from the inside how much space there is, while opening.May just cut a sheet of paper to the contour on top of the visor, so that it will close the gap flush to the helmet (with a 5mm gap not more).Than open to see if the paper would "scratch" the dome.You will see, that it will not.

Agreed on all counts. Given the supposed pedigree that EFX used to have, the FOUR YEARS they took to deliver, and all the hyperbole from a certain diminutive fellow - they’ve rushed out what can best be described as a shocking mess.

So incredibly (and unnecessary) inaccurate and butt-ugly from above, the weird jawline flare, and to cap it all - THE VISOR DOESNT SHUT!
